Update on Baby Beanut and The Ratliff's!

Hi Everyone-
Sorry I haven't posted anything new lately. I just went back to work on January 7th after 2 weeks of Winter Vacation....it is the best part about being a teacher....of course the kids are great too!! I have heard from many family and friends that they have checked out the Blog and it is great to hear from you! Since I last posted anything, many exciting things have happened! We received the test results back from part of my combined screening. I was at my sister's house when I received the call that Beanut has a very low chance of having Downs Syndrome! That was great news for us...one thing to check off. I also went to the Doctor yesterday, only gained 3 pounds total since I got pregnant! Yoooohoooo! However, on a different note, I heard the baby's heartbeat and Beanut is still going strong. The doctor asked me if I had felt the baby kick yet? Uhhh, no.....I don't think so, I said. So we will be on the look out for that. In addition to doctor stuff, My uncle Scott got re-married...sorry family, no pictures yet (Nikki...will you send me a few to post?) My cousin Nicole came in town from Tim-buck-too....just kidding, Idaho! However, it might as well be far away since we never see her because she is so far away! We also started shopping for baby furniture....ugggghhhh. This has been going on since Christmas I swear! My parents have been gracious to help us out this the baby furniture, but goodness gracious, I am now thinking helping us out with carpet would have been better. It is so hard to find good quality furniture made of wood. I went with my sister over break looking, my parents, and Dan. We finally found something, but of course it only comes in one color, and it is the color we are trying to avoid! So back to the "drawing board!" Anyone who has been around me knows I am a planner, so this is driving me crazy. Last, but not least, I have officially lost my brain this week, and made a fool of myself! I was sitting in the lunchroom, I had just finished a conversation with my principal, one of the secretaries, and some of the Para-Eds at my school about having "Mommy-Brain." Then I turn around, walked into the office and said, "I need a calculator, I don't remember what 50 divided by 2 is"......No comment please, I have already embarrassed myself enough this week and I turn 29 on Monday-I am loosing my brain early! On that note, I will leave you will some cute kitty videos/pictures. Check them out!

I only have a couple of pictures...mostly of Eric. Since they were standing with their backs to us...and we were too close it was hard to take pictures. But I will send some to you once I download them.
Oh and I won't point out another mommy brain episode...but it is Iowa now ;)
Happy early B-day!
